It`s because construction and maintainance is all farmed out to the private sector with no site supervision by the client ( ie : local authorities ) to ensure standards are maintained .I've been saying this for years that we cannot build roads in this country. Over the last 15 years I've been to Portugal over 70 times and I still marvel at the quality and smoothness of their roads. Amazingly they even manage to install manholes at the same height as the surrounding blacktop so you hardly even notice them. Here the tolerance seems to be +/- 6" is close enough
Took the silver one out yesterday and it was running a bit rough until I hit some open quiet road and gave it some welly and it shook off the Winter blues then ran like a scalded cat. Felt great so yes roll on SummerI can't wait til summer either. Be good to get the Vette out. Had it out a few weeks ago on a nice day, but other than that it was November since last used.
You can`t beat a good old `Italian Tune Up ` to sort a car out .Took the silver one out yesterday and it was running a bit rough until I hit some open quiet road and gave it some welly and it shook off the Winter blues then ran like a scalded cat. Felt great so yes roll on Summer
I think it belongs to @Mr. Cricket but I’m not sure about putting names to faces on here. If it is, thanks Stuart I got your video from Adam.
Like that when I bought it but most just refer to the prick bit..1964 reg on a 1965, quite unusual as it’s a “standard” letter number configuration.
Will these be available to purchase through the club ? It`s a great idea and the Marcos Owners Club did something similar to celebrate 50 years of Marcos and I had one on each door on my Mantara throughout year and did no harm to the paintwork .Simeon Chodosh is producing these decals - the one shown on Tim's Corvette is 400mm wide but they are planning on offering 300mm & 200mm versions as well once pricing has been sorted. Really high quality and they assured me they were perfectly safe to apply on painted surfaces although it would have washed out on my silver car so we put it on the rear window. Note the white boarder is not part of the decal
